Anonymous: Planning to Shut Down Facebook on November 5th

[TankAss95]

It's beginning to look like a failure from Anonymous. It will be a big dent to their 'reputation' if they fail.

It aint over til the fait lady sings. Patience my friend. Remember we have talked about that

P.S. When i say friend i don´t actually mean an actual friend FYI. In case you would react on that.

Your clarification is more offensive than if you'd have just let it be.

 

[hampus_dh]

True But then i would get a message saying don´t think for one second we are friends and then the usual "you are in my prayers"

So i´d rather take the second route

Google-translate that yourself: http://www.golem.de/1111/87543.html

 

[Camaroyenko]

I like how it went out! (Not)

 

[ExigeEvan]

Sounds like Anon might be getting a bit too deep here.

People seem to forget that Anonymous is not a typical organisation. It doesn't have a hierarchy - there's no "Head Anon" who rules over the rest of them and decides who to hack. Obviously, there were a few Anons acting independently (but under the Anon name), and some (gullible) people thought, "O NOES!!! ANON ARE GONNA ATTACK MY PRECIOUS FACEBOOK!!!"

Seems like they're a little busy fighting child pornography to worry about facebook.

Yet they have had a fairly consistent record for their organised attempts. (Correct me if I'm wrong)

Apparently preparations are currently being made by Anonymous as of now.


But at the same time they are denying it...

 

[stumpydino]

I have to presume it was speculation again, I would think if they were actually going to do it they would have achieved it...

 

[Wyvern_64]

Facebook rapture.

 

[TankAss95]

It would be funny if they lied and hacked Bebo instead.

 

[DK]

^ If that happened, then the English riots this summer would be completely overshadowed.

You know they could do it tomorrow if they let their guard down.

This is actually a great point, they could of been planning this all along,

 

[PHCharls]

Nothing happens.

 

[Starfirebird]

Maybe they were just trying to fool Facebook into thinking they were going to do it on the 5th, when really they are going to do it the 5th week of November.

Just something i thought of a minute ago.It probably won't happen though.

 

[hampus_dh]

Seems like they are denying the whole thing aswell. That they never ment to do it.

Seems like some was on but some other guys like FB.

 

[LMSCorvetteGT2]

Of course some like FB how else will they play bejeweled with one another?

Surely they wont go out and get it on the iPhone 4S

 

[TankAss95]

So did they even attempt it?

I'm not sure if this has anything to do with Anonymous but there has been rumours, and I've tried myself that if you set the date of your computer to the 7th of December, it will automatically log out your Facebook, and only your Facebook is affected, GTPlanet, Windows Live are all not affected.

Also, this site is showing the countdown to that date... Something fishy here to whether it's all under Anonymous orrr - somebody else.

Hehe it logged me off as well, that was kind of cool 👍

Haha cool. I just had a black screen show up for that site.

 

[Prince.M5]

Haha cool. I just had a black screen show up for that site.

Yeah, the site only shows black screen. Try to highlight the whole screen and you'll see the time on the top left. It will say something if your date is on the 7th of December...

It logs you out because that date falls beyond Facebook's cookie expiration deadline.

 

[Prince.M5]

Aaah, that explains it... Still though, the 7th of December thingy is still a buzz around.

Thanks Jordan

Ah I see. Because I cannot change the date on a school computer, I had this show up:

29 days + 19h : 47m : 53s

Countdown?

 

[AMCNUT]

The real question is: How bad would a Facebook implosion actually be?
